Marketing activity in China may be very challenging. This article deals with the cultural aspects of the Chinese consumer and discusses topics on the national character of the Chinese and the profile of the Chinese consumer itself.

In order to prove it, a vast number of references is cited. Although the mainland China is an extremely diversified and fragmented country, general conclusions are drawn.
